The device can independently send out ping commands, thus allowing for
confirmation that a particular host in a network can be reached.
In case of a local connection, the host’s IP address, e.g. 192.168.0.10, can be
used as the ping address. If an internet connection is required (e.g. when using a
cloud), any domain can also be used as a ping address (e.g. www.ifm.com).
Time synchronisation requires an NTP server. If there is no NTP server, time can
be set manually.
If the gateway is disconnected for a longer period of time, time has to be
corrected in the configuration menu.
The device's MAC address can be found in the Ethernet settings.
